    Title of Collection: Formula Grant EASIE Annual Performance Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1810-0726.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR.

    Abstract: The purpose of Indian Education Formula Grant to Local 
Agencies, as authorized under section 6116 of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student 
Succeeds Act (ESSA) is to assist grantees to provide Indian students 
with the opportunity to meet the same challenging state standards as 
all other students and meet the unique educational and culturally 
related academic needs of Indian students. The Indian Education Formula 
Grant (Assistance Listing Number 84.060A), is neither competitive nor 
discretionary and requires the annual submission of the application 
from either a local education agency, tribe, Indian organization, or 
Indian community-based organization. The amount of the award for each 
applicant is determined by a formula based on the reported number of 
Indian students identified in the application, the state per pupil 
expenditure, and the total appropriation available. The Office of 
Indian Education (OIE) of The Department of Education (ED) collects 
annual performance data within the same system that collects the annual 
application. The application and the annual performance report are both 
housed in the OMB MAX/<a href="http://Connect.gov">Connect.gov</a> Survey. Clearance was granted for the 
Electronic Application System for Indian Education (EASIE) Annual 
Performance Report (EASIE Part III) in a revised information collection 
by OIE. This is a request for revision of this collection. We have 
removed the fax number fields from this collection. In addition, we 
propose revisions that will clarify instructions and improve usability.

    Dated: April 23, 2024.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance, Governance and 
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
